Who Killed General Zaluzhny’s Aide?
There are several pieces on Telegram reporting on the death by grenade of a senior aide to General Valeri Zaluzhny, Ukraine’s Commander of the Armed Forces. Major Gennady Chestyakov had returned to his home in Kiev to celebrate his birthday and opened a gift containing four grenades, courtesy of A. V. Timchenko, who is the senior assistant to the deputy commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Chetyakov’s 13 year old son reportedly tried, but failed, to pull the firing pin out of one of the grenades. His dad reportedly decided to show him how it is done. He grabbed the grenade, pulled the pin and BOOM! The ensuing blast killed Major Chestyakov and seriously wounded his son.
That is a helluva birthday gift.
